Firstly, I'll preface this by saying that I don't own a huge share of the Port Atlantis stable. I don't stand to profit a ton more by there being a change in this system. I benefit as much or more than the rest of you as I'm at very high avatar health ingame and an addition of 10 health for almost no cost is great for events and high level mobs.
The new stable update has come this week and most of us are quite pleased with the ability to add 10 health to our avatars for 1 week at the price of just 5 PED. I am not sure whether I am being biased in thinking that the price seems to be a major flaw based upon the current cost to chip in 10 health for most players. Given the cost of chipping, vampiric cloaks for health, and mindforce chip benefits, I don't think that the amount of health should be so high for such a cheap cost. Even as a player who loves having more health, I just don't see how it makes good business sense. 5 PED to stable owners means that their stables will take ages to pay back, even if more functionality comes in the future. For such a high boost of 10 hp, I'd think that 75-200 PED would be more reasonable for 1 week. Hell, I'd probably pay 1-2k during contests.
The Vampiric Cloak of life gives 12 hp and cost most owners between 11-20k to purchase. Chipping in at my level would cost at least 15k for 10 hp. Sure, at lower levels I could see them doing a cheaper price (ie. 90 hp avatar gaining 10 hp for 30 PED).
What do you guys think? A change wouldn't make most of us happy but for the overall well being of the rest of the game's systems, I think it is for the best.
